What's interesting is to watch the conservatives, libertarians and anarchists unite on this type of thing. Anarchists claim that the people in power manipulate the law to the extent that if they do it, it's automatically legal. Think Gore and "no controlling authority."

If most politicians and the other people you mention in your post were held to actual legal standards, they would all be in prison. However, Goldman Sachs gets laws passed that the government borrows money and gives it to Goldman Sachs, and it's all quite legal.

Amazing isn’t it. Of course anybody caught stealing a pack of lunchmeat from a 7-11 will go to jail.
